“Coming to Latin America”, edited by Lawrence Alexander and Javier Pérez-Osorio, engages with non–Latin American filmmakers who have produced work in and about the continent. As the Editors explain, it “interrogates the foreign gaze not because it is more important than that of practitioners from the continent but because, rather than simply reproducing extractive cinematic practices, we believe these works can become a catalyst for new epistemic pathways.”

This year’s symposium, Expanding Perspectives: Archives, Access and Creative Reuse, brings together filmmakers, archivists, academics and other film practitioners to explore how amateur films, newsreels, and other overlooked forms capture the minutiae of everyday life, and to ask vital questions about who preserves these stories, who gets access to them, and how they can be reimagined for the future.
